John 3:6-7      New King James Version

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

 

Get with it

 

Salvation to most is a word and has a particular meaning

I am delivered from my sins, but I don’t know what that means

Someone explained that I was lost, and  I understood somehow

I knew where I was then, so my lostness was not here.

 

I had to feel guilty, and I wanted to be different

And by different, I mean just different from myself

How can I explain this and make you understand?

You need to die so you can live, and that explains itself?

 

The more we talk, the more confusing is our explanation

So we can’t witness the fullness of truth at all

It takes the Lord Himself to open understanding

And to tenderize our conscience for He saves us after all.

 

God saves out of Himself me into Himself.

He cuts me off from me, so I am delivered from myself

United with Him in Himself and seated next to Him 

deep within Christ Jesus, I know that very well

 

Now I sit here myself and writing to myself

And I feel myself as I meditate by self

But I am not by myself if I invite myself

So to be out of myself so as not to be lost in self.

 

Deep within all of the created should indeed be relinquished

So that the newly created will enjoy fully in the creator

For greatness does not depend on how much we gather

But on how much we have lost and that we will see later
